The Bedouin Tent at St. Ethelburga's Centre
About this space
The Tent at St. Ethelburgas Centre is a unique space located just a stone's throw from the thoroughfare of Bishopsgate and Liverpool St. Station. A 16-sided structure, made in Saudi Arabia and covered in woven goat's hair, the tent is a peaceful space ideal for meetings, workshops/training events and, along with the stunning garden courtyard - a real oasis in the City!
It is carpeted and fully heated, with a range of atmospheric lighting options. The tent is circular with cushioned bench seating around the edge. Comfortable capacity is 25 people. There are no tables in the tent and people are asked to remove their shoes before entering.
Please note that access to the kitchen is not guaranteed when booking the Tent. Please see our other space, the Nave if you need use of the kitchen. However, we are still able to provide you with refreshments, and caterers may use the foyer area to set up buffet style. Please also note alcohol is not permitted in the Tent itself.
